When the Brewers and Cardinals play, it’s generally a good idea to throw out the expectations. It’s always going to be a competitive series no matter how the teams are doing. That continued tonight, as the Brewers built an early lead but the Cardinals rallied hard late. However, the Brewers had just enough to take their season-high sixth straight win.
Both starting pitchers (Frankie Montas and Erick Fedde) started out well, with both recording 1-2-3 innings to start the game. In the second, the Brewers got on the board. Two walks by Willy Adames and Tyler Black put two runners on base, and Sal Frelick brought Adames in with an RBI single.
